It is not strange. The error is not ignored. It is just that two
threads run independent from one another and one thread proceeds for a
while even after the other one raised an error. Running "make -j2"
once again would probably continue compiling for a little while.

I didn't try to enable that part of the functionality (to be honest,
it is very well hidden), but if you want support for libxml2, you
probably need to have libxml2 installed somewhere where CMake finds
it. I see that CMake reports
    -- Found LibXml2: /Library/Frameworks/libxml2.framework
but I'm almost sure that FindLIBXML2.cmake as shipped with Gate is not
flexible enough to properly account for all the files that reside
there under some Mac-specific structure. What are the contents of
libxml2.framework and how did you install it?

(I have libxml2 installed via a package manager, but Gate never finds
it and I never noticed.)

Just for fun you can try to temporary rename/remove libxml2.framework
and try to configure and make again. I assume it should work. Once you
get that working, you can continue debugging the issue with libxml2.
(It might be helpful to attach a zipped log file as opposed to
copy-paste complete contents in the body when the content is sooooooo
long.)
